   One big happy family ;).   
      
   https://github.com/oldprogs/taurus/blob/5ab0e09ad2bdc43bd5dae10b   
   9aa2ef03b21572b/src/xBase.pas#L55   
      
    CProductNameFull = 'Taurus (based on Radius (based on Argus))'   
      
   And the versions are:   
   Argus 3.210   
   Radius 4.011   
   Taurus 5.101   
      
    ml> i'm not even sure which ones of that family are still being updated   
    ml> today...   
      
   AFAIK development has stopped for all three some time ago.   
      
    ml> i just thought i'd mention them since they may have the same

   I believe Radius and Taurus have fixed the problem:   
      
   https://github.com/maximmasiutin/argus/blob/c8b06f333facdf9f2d5f   
   8feb048f7aa78c3513a/SRC/xBase.pas#L5758   
   https://github.com/oldprogs/radius/blob/6eb804993455f91517682539   
   3727b0dbf71fe73/beta/src/xBase.pas#L6511   
   https://github.com/oldprogs/taurus/blob/5ab0e09ad2bdc43bd5dae10b   
   9aa2ef03b21572b/src/xBase.pas#L6167   
      
   Argus:   
     Result := PackStrEx(s, ' ', '\');   
     Result := UnpackStrEx(s, '\');   
      
   Radius & Taurus:   
     Result := PackStrEx(s, [#0..#255] - charset, '\x');   
     Result := UnpackStrEx(s, '\x');   
      
   Anyone still using Argus should upgrade to Radius or Taurus. (I haven't used   
   any of the programs, so I don't know if it's an easy upgrade and would work   
   for everyone).
